Adrian; when you enter on a message, and do the shift+tab to the from line, make sure the screen is maximized. I went in to your message, pressed the keystroke, windows-key+down-arrow, to minimize the screen, I could not read the address, once I did the windows-key+up-arrow to maximize? I was able to read. I find that sometimes going in to a message, the screen is not in the maximized state. hope this helps.

I can get the name spelled, but I can't go through it with arrow keys. No matter. The workaround is simple enough. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Whitehead Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2017 5:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Checking spelling with JAWS cursor yes, 2016. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2017 5:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Checking spelling with JAWS cursor With Outlook? -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Whitehead Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2017 4:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Checking spelling with JAWS cursor Hi Adrian; well, I just entered on your message, did a shift+tab until I got to the from line, now, route jaws to pc, and was able to either ctrl+lef or right, or, able to read character by character. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2017 4:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Checking spelling with JAWS cursor Hi, David. Yes, this works the way you describe, but it doesn't solve the problem that you can't arrow through a name to check spelling. That's a problem when you have the long "From" lines that come with list messages. FYI, you can get directly into the "From" field by holding down the alt key and pressing 1 above the letters twice quickly. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Whitehead Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2017 3:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Checking spelling with JAWS cursor hello; in outlook; 1, enter on the message in which you wish to find out the sender's name to spell, 2, shift+tab to the from line, make sure the name/email is highlighted, now use the insert+numpad5 pressed twice quickly. works for me all the time. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2017 12:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Checking spelling with JAWS cursor In Outlook, JAWS won't read info in the "From" field letter by letter. Instead, set up a reply to the message and arrow down to the "From" line. Then you'll be able to go letter by letter. Just be sure not to hit "Reply"! -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Maria Campbell Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2017 12:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] Checking spelling with JAWS cursor For sometime now I have not been able to use my JAWS cursor to check spelling. Example, I'm trying to check the spelling of Eric Damery's last name on the from field in a message. When I route JAWS cursor to pc cursor, JAWS just says blank. What's up with that?
